Volunteer Opportunities

The City of Littleton encourages citizens to get involved and participate in the development and enhancement of the city and the community in which they live and work. Participation as a volunteer will not only enhance your knowledge about the city, but also enrich your life and greatly benefit our community.

If you are interested in a volunteer opportunity through which you can make a difference in your community, develop new skills, and have fun, consider the following options.

For more than 40 years, the Littleton Museum has served as the primary repository for the history, art, and culture of Littleton. Volunteers serve as the Museum’s ambassadors to our visitors. Volunteers fill front line positions such as front desk receptions, school group greeters, and living history interpreters. They also work behind the scenes in collections and research.

For more information about volunteer opportunities, please call 303-795-3950.

The Littleton Police Citizen’s Academy is a series of classes designed to give community members a peek into the inner workings of the Littleton Police Department. A diverse selection of topics is covered in an effort to give attendees an idea of what, why, and how the police operate.

The goal of the Citizen Academy is to promote a better relationship between the police department and the community it serves and to foster a clearer understanding of a police officer's duties, how the officer carries out those duties, and the end results of the officer's actions. The Citizen Academy is not being held to train citizens as police officers or to exercise police authority of any kind.

For more volunteer opportunities in the police department, visit the Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) page. For more information, contact the Littleton Police Dept. at 303-795-3875.

Snow Squad

The City of Littleton’s Snow Squad provides snow removal for residents over the age of 60 and who are physically unable to shovel their sidewalks themselves. If you can spare an hour to help a fellow resident whenever there is measurable snow, and are looking for a way to give back to your community, this is a great opportunity!
